so true.   i know from experience.  I've learned so much about sales, in a short time.  it will last a lifetime.  But it is hard work.   but I had never came home without a least $70-$80 a day. and my good days I made over $150. frequently i rang the bell. it was easy to me.  i just did the system and it worked.  see 300 people of day.and the law of average kicks in.  make 30 sales, which could easily be made.  some customers buy more than $10, which is their price point. good product.   I could sell $300 in a few hours,because i learned to qualify a customer, do the 5 steps and keep moving.

the parent company is DS Max,  all other companys are independently owned, and they do fail very quickly, because it is based on sales reps, who quit with no warning.  so there are many names they go buy.  Westcoast Alliance is just one, and the owner has other regional and district offices ran by other managers.  I've seen some go from making $100k+ to back to a few hundred. because they can loose their team overnight, if they quit.   it takes only, if i can recall correctly, like 6-9 team leaders to open a office, so if you loose 1, you will loose your office.    You can easily advance to an office owner in less than a year, if you build the right team.  It is hard work, long hours and alot of traveling.   after all it is direct sales.

i used to work for westcoast alliance, and know everything about it.   It is legit, it is a direct sale marketing company. you get paid commission. if you sell $333.00a day, you make $111.00.  so basically a third of sales is your commision.    I was promoted in 2 months or so, eventually relocated to denver colorado to open an office.    I made good money, no exageration, all the products are legit.   But it is hard to catch up with them.  I'm searching for them now.    I relocated out of state to take care of grandmother, and when i came back they had moved from their office in santa fe springs.   you are able to build a team, and make residual income.  it's not a pyramid or scheme. I wonder if the guy named Eddie is a fellow rep. who went to colorado with me.

I emailed auguianoconsulting@gmail.com for Administrative Assistant, 10 hr full time mon- friday, traigning provided... I google the  email the company name is Auguiano Consulting here in Victorville, CA phone # 760-956-5050. address 12651 Fair Glen Dr VV, CA....oh yeah by the way its not a busniess building its a HOUSE!!! probably because he knows WOMEN will apply for a Administrative position and he knows a women will be desperate for a job and be stupid enough to go to his house...

its not a scam. its a  door to door sales company that pays 100% commission. its a good company if you are good at sales and there is a lot of opporunity if you are willing to persevere. the reason that the same "lisa" is contacting people in different cities is cause they use centrally located recruiters. You dont need to be in the same city in order to send an email so that someone goes in for an interview. Also, if it is pure commission then of course there is a high turn over and they can hire as many as they want. you may not like this kind of thing but it is completely legit and legal. BBB ratings are irrelevant as they are not even mandatory. and every BBB rating is specific to one location. it has nothing to do with the corporation as a whole. I worked at one of the offices in chicago and even ran an office for a short time. a lot of hard work but a lot of the success i have now in life is connected the the things i learned about sales and business working for that company.

Receieved a reply phone call and email from this same person and number with the company name of West Coast Alliance, out of Riverside, ca

I tried to google the company, but i seems like there are couple companies named as CG International. I couldn't trace back which exact company that i applied initially.

this is a pyramid scheme
do not take this position...

have you ever seen the guys outdoors with the little duffle bags full of disney books and pocket digital cameras... yup that's them...

I worked for this company back in 1999. I started in Colorado, moved to Colorado Springs to open an office then moved to New Mexico to a co-workers office and ended up at West Coast Alliance working for Doug in L.A. That didn't last long. The company kept me away from my girl and family and when I did talk to them they brain washed me into thinking they were jealous of my success. I wasted 3 years on hustlin door to door and when it was tax time I never got a I-9 and I called them, They said they would send out another I never got it and filed my taxes without it cause I was out of time well I paid nealy $700 because they claimed me but I couldn't claim them. Be careful

hi did you ever go to there interview
or was this a scam

Hi can you Please tell me what kind of Scam this is i was contacted regarding a customer Service Job

I interviewed with WCA back in Oct.'08 and it seemed shady to me then I also didn't give my vehicle info as its none of their business. I agree with you on the whole reception area & interview process. I did however see that they were hiring again and I answered the newspaper ad not expecting to get another interview but I was told to come in again so I made the two hour bus ride (one way) only to fill out the application and then be told by Brenda that I wouldn't be granted an interview again. This was infuiting to say the very least and then I had to make the two hour trip home. I feel that this company is unprofessional and really should be investigated by the BBB.

I just had an interview at West Coast Alliance... it was okay..i asked if they were commission based or hourly..and Eddy( the guy who interviewed me) said it depended on the position, and that first you would go thru 6 months of training and they teach you all about the company and you could choose which position you wanted. i am trying to look them up but their official website has expired. Well, all i can say is that when i walked in, it all looked legit.. but looks can be deceiving...oh and by the way..the girl who e-mails you her name is angelica...i met her today.

HOW FUNNY NOW THERE IS NO ADDRESS...
AND ITS NOT LISA ANYMORE--- THERES A NEW GIRL OR A NEW NAME...
SCAM!!!!!

John, did you go in for trainning?  Is it a waste of time?

I responsed to an add from monster for a company called West Coast Alliance it had a return email wcapartner.com attn: brenda she call and we scheduled an interview and she gave me a # 951-682-6622 and the address to the location 1240 Palmyrita Ave Riverside, ca Suite L. I like to go to the internet to check out the company and what I found was nothing about the company. I think it is scam! it appears that they will try to get you in the office and get your ss#etc...personal info. Well I called Brenda and cancled my interview. Thanks so much!! be careful out there

They also said they were located in riverside ca

I to got a call from 760-952-7595 they said they were hiring and they recieved my resume but, what was strange is that I never give out the phone number that they called I always give out my cell have no idea how they obtained it although I have been applying for jobs on craigslist and monster

called 888 # talked to lisa scheduled a interview and now dont know if i should go

I was "contacted" by the same "Lisa Leonard" to go to an interview in Murrieta. How can the same woman be working at multiple offices across the country? The answer is that she probably doesn't exist.  I know I don't trust them.

The interview said one of the owners names was Doug Hay, have you heard of him? Also their generic website is wcapartners.com. Perhaps you can give the FTC their latest information here the copy of the email I was sent by them along with their contact number and address:

what is the FTC? How do I know your not a fraud. I would like to report them under West Coast Alliance at 1240 Palmyrita Ave. Ste L Riverside CA 92507 Riverside, CA 92507; Phone: 951-682-6622 or 18882741764 contacted by Lisa Leonard. What is there scam?

I too went on an interview with west coast alliance and felt that it was a bit shady.  I spoke to Lisa Leonard with an email address of ccaea.com. Apparently this CCAEA has been under investigation for fraud so if you have started a training program please reply and let us know of your experience. Is it legitimate? What is the scam?

how was your interiview and training? I too spoke to a lisa leanoard

I went on an interview and the company is called west coast alliance. It seemed a little shady, the receptionist area had a cheap stereo blasting music and two receptionists. One receptionist did not have any idea what was happening. Then I was taken in a room with a couple of other people and were asked three open ended questions. Then the company representative began his sales pitch. We was fast talking and was unable to articulate his answers to my questions. I am concerned b/c I completed an application asking for my car information along with my license plate info (which I did not give) but I cannot remember if I gave them my social security number on the application.

I think Lisa Leonard and CCAEA is a hiring company. I was contacted by them, for Point/CRA Industries, and went to the interview. I was hired.

BUT-I've googled and checked as much as I can. I don't see anything particularly negative, and the BBB doesn't have but one complaint against them, so I'm gonna go Monday to the job/training and see what happens. Worst case I waste a day and feel like a moron.

craindustries.com is the site for the marketing company I'm hired by. I'll post if it's for real or not after Monday.

Just receently, around 6-16-2008, I received a call and set up an interview with this company.  I then received an email stating that the company was called Point/CRA Industries, Inc. and a contact number for Lisa Leonard at 888-274-1764.  After reading all of these posts I beleive I will have to cancel my intertervewi for tomorrow.  Good luck to all.
